I think that would really bring them out.
My 2 cents,

I agree with Rodney...but I would use green for the binding.

I think prairie points would really dress it up. I don't see prairie points much any more, but I love them. I think a solid color for the prairie points would look great.

I think it pops all by itself. How about no border?

I would do maybe a 1/2 inch of the blue then finish with the random 2 inch squares. Very nice!!! Can't wait to see what you decide!

When I read your first post, this is what came to mind immediately. You have all those 2 in. squares, so use them alternately with white squares. I love this type of border. I see Karen J. has also recommended this pattern for the border.
